Socialism is a social and ecnomical model often found in communist countries. 
 It is slightly political as well, yes, but mostly the definition deals with 
the economic state of a country.

So, by the definition, when Canada's government becomes responsible for 51% 
of the GDP, it will be making more money than it's citizens, it's factories 
will be making more money, which means the primary means of production for 
Canada will be owned and controlled by the state.  We don't have any private 
property now, as you've helpfully pointed out.  What does this mean?  We're 
on the verge of socialism.  By taxing the citizens they are taking away the 
possiblity of capitalism, which is what the country needs to thrive.  Taxes 
stagnate an economy.  Canada needs Free Enterprise, and the government isn't 
doing a good job at allowing it.  The number is going up, and it won't stop 
at 51% unless something is done about our government.
